Journaling Shoulds.
Journaling Shoulds are keeping me afloat.
Because I found a Western Bluebird feather at the Grand Canyon a few weeks back (and also saw a bunch fly by), I thought I would keep the excitement alive. So yesterday, I took out all my birding magazines and identification books and drew some blue birds as well as a woodpecker in my journal.
Then I promptly went to the copy shop so that I could try xerographic techniques (a la Claudine Hellmuth) with the drawings. It worked...
But being a collage artist by nature, I couldn't pass up the little painty dirty bits of used xeroxes when I was done. So I glued this drawing back into my book and started painting a new page.
Am I insane?
Through the house selling stress, I am creating fabulous bits of fun in my journal, in mixed media art pieces and in cloth!
Whoda thunk.
And now I need to go research Samowood and Aristocoat...
